Waterway has access to:

Lake Balaton (Plattensee)
As far as the
surface area is concerned, this is the biggest lake of Europe, bigger then Lake
of Constance or Lake of Geneva. But it does by
far not have the water volume of the two smaller ones. The maximum depth of
12.50 m allows a water temperature in summer of up to 28° Celsius. This is one
of the reasons for its popularity for bathing holidays. The flat beaches and the
surrounding wine yards add to this as well. Until a hundred years ago, this
lovely prairie lake used to be a very popular holiday address to prominent
people of Vienna and Budapest. Today mass
tourism has drawn in.

Tourism
Lake of
Balaton is popular to sailors and those, interested in vine and culture. But, at the
first, second and third place lie bathing holidays; this gives now and then the
impression of being at Rimini.
